Is it good to borrow against my 401K to pay off high interest credit cards?

401k
RightLight asked:

I have some high interest credit that we can never seem to pay down. We have not added to the balance in over a year though and I am more than willing to cut them up. Should I borrow from my 401K and pay myself back at 8% interest to pay off the cards?
